The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Mysterious Devil Hand

"Lei... Zhenzi... I’ll remember you..." An Yansha said painfully, his face a bloody mess, unrecognizable because Lei Zhenzi was choking him, making even his speech difficult and his words unclear.

Lei Zhenzi couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him, strolling leisurely toward Qin Jun and the others. He seemed to walk slowly, but each step crossed a hundred meters, quickly arriving in front of Qin Jun.

As he looked at the imposing Lei Zhenzi, Qin Jun felt a great sense of relief. A loyalty of ninety percent meant he wasn’t worried that Lei Zhenzi would act high and mighty.

Although his breakthrough speed was swift, reputed to be the fastest in the Southern Domain, it was a pity he couldn’t keep up with the enemy’s pace.

But that was just as well, for how could he, the Emperor Di, personally engage in battle?

His subordinates weren’t there just to mooch off him!

"My lord, how should we deal with him?" Lei Zhenzi tossed An Yansha in front of Qin Jun, his right foot firmly stepping on An Yansha’s back, immobilizing him.

While speaking, he pulled out a bronze bracelet from his right hand—an unexpected treasure of An Yansha.

"Wait a moment."

Qin Jun took the bronze bracelet and then said that the Torch Dragon had been sucked into the bracelet, so he must rescue the Torch Dragon before killing An Yansha.

Looking down at An Yansha lying on the ground, Qin Jun asked, "Old thing, if you want to live, release my Divine Beast."

Of course, he was only saying that; once the Torch Dragon was out, An Yansha was meant to die.

An Yansha chuckled painfully, "It has already been sent back to the main hall of Abyss Sect. If you dare, go storm it!"

"I tell you, within Abyss Sect there are those stronger than me, and stronger than him, too. Even if you go, it will be certain death!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lei Zhenzi, his eyes full of provocation, as if to say, if you dare, go cause a ruckus at Abyss Sect’s main hall!

Qin Jun frowned, anger brewing inside him.

Right away, he took out the Silver Dragon Soul-Annihilating Spear, prepared to skewer An Yansha.

"Wait, do you care a lot about our Divine Beast?" An Yansha suddenly spoke up.

"So what if I do?" Qin Jun said, narrowing his eyes. The safety of the Torch Dragon was more important than letting An Yansha haggle.

In the end, An Yansha had to die.

He was very curious as to why the Torch Dragon was revered as a Divine Beast by Abyss Sect, and even why An Yansha, when mentioning the Torch Dragon, unconsciously had a flash of fanaticism in his eyes, like a devout believer.

"If you enter Abyss Sect, you’ll hardly stand a chance to live. Believe me, not even Lei Zhenzi could leave alive. If I were to cooperate from within, we could sneak out the Divine Beast without anyone noticing," An Yansha said gravely. Naturally, he would consider other options when faced with the threat of death.

But whether the agreement would still count once Qin Jun let him go was another matter entirely.

Puchi!

Qin Jun stabbed An Yansha’s back with his spear, blood spurting out. An Yansha looked up at Qin Jun in disbelief, clearly unable to keep up with Qin Jun’s train of thought.

What the hell, hadn’t they been talking just fine? Why would you just attack out of nowhere?

"You..."

Faced with An Yansha’s furious gaze, Qin Jun smiled contemptuously, "Your verbal art of evasion is too weak to move me, so you’d better die. And as for Abyss Sect, we’ll storm in by ourselves!"

While speaking, he suddenly spat out Samadhi Real Fire.

Tch, tch!

Killing a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse, how many levels would Qin Jun rise?

Filled with excitement at the thought, Qin Jun was beside himself with joy.

Right then, a terrifying red hand suddenly emerged from the vortex in the sky, colossal to the point of filling the entire void, reaching straight for Qin Jun and the others, shocking Lei Zhenzi into quickly turning and smashing it with his staff.

"Isn’t this the same red hand we encountered at Divine Beast Lake last time?"

Qin Jun was shocked to recall that they initially thought it was Yan Jingxi’s doing, but now it appeared to be someone else.

Dong—

The Golden Staff hit one of the red giant hand’s fingers. Lei Zhenzi was nowhere near as big as the finger of the red hand, and could only make the giant hand tremble slightly. Qin Jun didn’t notice that An Yansha, wrapped in the Samadhi Real Fire, suddenly produced a ball of light.

Primordial Spirit Escaping The Body!

With a whoosh, An Yansha’s Primordial Spirit flew toward the sky, so fast that even Evening Star and Sha Wujing couldn’t react in time, let alone Qin Jun from the Ascending Mortal Realm fifth level.

"Qin Jun, one day I will make you wish you were dead!"

An Yansha’s voice echoed long in the world, heard clearly by everyone in the capital.

The red giant hand also began to recede, disappearing into the vortex in the sky along with An Yansha. After their disappearance, the vortex vanished as well.

"Why not pursue?" Qin Jun asked, frowning.

Lei Zhenzi said solemnly, "The owner of that demonic hand is very powerful..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun fell silent immediately. If even Lei Zhenzi called them strong, it was better not to provoke them.

But if the red giant hand was so powerful, why didn’t it kill them?

Could there be some restraint?

Thinking again of the Torch Dragon, Qin Jun’s mood soured, feeling none of the thrill of victory.

Looking at the ruins and the smell of gunpowder around him, he couldn’t help but reveal a look of confusion. Was this the strength of one of the nine Demonic Dao sovereigns? Just one elder leading the way had managed to destroy half the capital, and that’s with all his subordinates in action.

His gaze quickly hardened. In this world, no one is immune from external forces. Hesitation was useless; only by becoming stronger could he protect everything precious to him!

"It seems we can’t have the coronation for a while; we need to rebuild the Vermilion Bird Platform first."

Qin Jun said with a wry smile, and at the same time, the hundred-thousand-strong Dragonrise and White-robed armies surged forth. Jia Xun, on the chariot, was in distress. They hadn’t even approached when they felt the earth-shattering power. How could he not be afraid?

Lei Zhenzi’s eyes suddenly shifted in a certain direction, and the next second he was gone.

Although Qin Jun was curious, he had no time to ask.

Daji and Li helped him walk toward the Dragonrise Army, with Evening Star and others closely following behind.

"Red Boy and Yuanba are all right?" Qin Jun asked over his shoulder. These two had fought to the death for him; they couldn’t die, or he would feel guilty.

"They’re just unconscious, their Primordial Spirits unharmed. A few days of rest should suffice," Evening Star said with a smile. Though the battle was fierce, they greatly dampened the momentum of Abyss Sect. With the scale of the battle so large, spies from various nations in the capital must have seen it.

Once the news spread, the reputation of Qianyue Kingdom and Qin Jun would surely soar.

Even surpassing the Nanzhuo Dynasty. Even if their lands were not as substantial, the Southern Domain’s Righteous Dao would deeply etch the existence of Qianyue Kingdom into memory.

Reputation was of utmost importance for a kingdom and a monarch. Wise men and strong warriors sought a wise, heroic ruler. With reputation established, naturally many would come to pledge allegiance to Qianyue Kingdom and Qin Jun.

The significance of this battle was far more than just repelling the devils of Abyss Sect.

At that moment, Lei Zhenzi reappeared before them, carrying the frothing-at-the-mouth Bone Eroding Tribulation, who had been beaten to an inch of his life by Lei Zhenzi.

"Not bad, this guy can provide us with a lot of information about Abyss Sect," Qin Jun said, his face lit up with a sinister smile.
